“Drumroll Wine is such a lovely addition to downtown Renton! With a great location, great space & atmosphere, great wines, & a great staff - - it truly is a great meet up location! I really enjoy their special events, too! Highly recommend!“

“I’m fairly new in the city. I’m a graduate of Northwest Wine Academy originally from Houston Texas. I went into The Wine Alley looking for a Loire Valley Chenin Blanc but Jim’s knowledge and passion led me to a phenomenal Sardinia Vermintino. Thanks Jim for making me feel welcome I will continue to do business with you! Cheers my friend!“

“I drive all the way from Federal Way to shop here. The owners are very helpful, nice people. Free wine tastings. They also have good beers on tap. Check out All Things Wine and the Stupid Wine Deals are worth the trip.“

“Absolutely FANTASTIC food and the service is top notch! Our server Veronica was FABULOUS and David the bartender made my daughter the fanciest mock tail! Treat yourself and enjoy the experience!“

“The peaceful atmosphere here combined with delicious food makes the meal memorable.“

“This place is a vibe. Properly is like stepping into a Parisian wine bar. Fantastic wine selection, direct for small producers. Some amazing grower champagnes. Very fine cheeses. Not overly expensive. Great, knowledgeable service, what's not to like?“

“We look forward to a return to normal so we can enjoy this place more!“

“I wanted to really love Marina Mercantile. Made a Mother's Day Tea reservation. Our initial arrival was not welcoming and I was asked twice if I had a reservation. My mom, my daughter, and I waited an hour for our tray of treats. We were last to be served. People that arrived after us were served before us. We are the only minorities in the shop. It felt racist sadly or their service was extremely slow. The food was ok not the freshest tasting for a special Mother's Day event. Prepaid $200 with fixed gratitude and service charge. 🫤“

“My favorite local with the most fabulous bartenders in town, and a perfectly curated selection of natural wines, unique cocktails, and tasty delectables. Book it for your private party, pick up a bottle to go, or simply drop in for great company and the coolest of playlists always.“

“From the moment our party walked in we were greated with a warm welcome. The service was prompt and non-invasive throughout the meal. Beverage program and wine selection is worth coming back for alone. Everything on the menu was DELICIOUS and I recommend getting there early to secure one of the Chicken Parms (only 10 available/night). I know I'll be back soon.“

“Always great food we go there often for date night😋🤫“

“Young crowd. Very popular place. Noisy. We stood out with our white hair, but were treated so nicely we felt quite at home. The idea seems to be that you drink a lot and eat a little. But it's possible to eat a lot and drink a little. We split a salad. My husband had a Mac n cheese, and I had a brisket ragout. We then split the posset dessert. I had a glass of wine and my husband had a non-alcoholic beer. All of the food was delicious, and so was my wine. The bill (including tax but not tip) came to $115. Recommend!“

“Last night a small group of us celebrated my husband's 52nd birthday.

Since I was introduced to We Rise almost a year ago, this has been my go to place. The list of wines are amazing and the non alcoholic options are great.

Last night the staff was great. Rayna or Raina (sorry for the mis-spelling), they were on top of it along with the other staff (I did not get the other staff members name). I love the intimacy of the space, the food and the vibe.

My partner had a great time and we were able to introduced our friends to this spot. I hope We Rise has a long life as long as they want. This is definitely my go to place and I hope to be there more often.“

“This is a little piece of southern France in an assuming location. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable about the wines from the Languedoc region, many of which you can’t find anywhere else. And the space felt clean and welcoming. They also have a lovely curated assortment of small bites to accompany your pairing.

When I visited, they had a local chef hosting a pop-up with suggested pairings, and they also have an event schedule for activities like trivia and karaoke. I can’t wait to come back and try their next rotation of wines and maybe sing a tune or two!“

“Fantastic wine selection paired with lovely charcuterie options. Love going there to see Friday evening music, especially when Chris Stevens is playing!“

“BFV is a fun place. The wine is good, and the waiters know what they are doing. What’s not to like? 😀“

“I had the pleasure of joining Chris and his team to Canyon Vineyard Ranch. To call this trip magical would be an understatement. From the moment we arrived, we felt wrapped in warmth and welcome. Every detail was beautifully thought out—it felt like a five-star escape, with the coziest beds (the best sleep I’ve had all year!), divine homemade pasta, and wine that was perfection...as it always is!

But it was the people who made it unforgettable. Everyone was so kind, so genuine, and so fun—like being welcomed into a family.

Only Browne Family Winery could do this. I'm thankful every day I became a member.

Canyon Vineyard isn’t just a place; it’s an experience, a memory that lingers long after you leave. Pure magic. ✨🍷“

“Valentina, the owner, is an absolute gem of a person. We came in looking for a place to sit, chat, and sip wine while we waited out the terrible traffic. Very knowledgeable about her product, she didn't hesitate to help me pair a wine with the food I ordered. As it was a quite evening I could also hear her talking with customers at the bar about the various wines she has. Valentina curates a warm, inviting atmosphere in her wine bar. She took the time to chat with us and inquire about the crafts we had with us. We will absolutely be back again!!“

“I had such a great experience at JOEY Southcenter due to our lovely server McKenna. She was patient although I am extremely indecisive and she helped me make some great choices!“

“I would recommend this place to anyone who wants to taste Washington wine and cozy place.

This place is bit distant from the center of Capitol Hill that it was quiet, which I enjoyed very much.

Me and my company tried flights; tasted 4 different wines. The manager explained every bottle of wine nice and in detail. Overall, it was a great experience.“

“One of the most unique wine bars in Seattle. If you want something different this is the place to go. Phenomenal selection of Italian wines that you could probably only find here.Incredibly knowledgeable staff was incredibly friendly and stepped through every wine they served.Definitely take your wine loving friends here.“

“We loved the frozen drinks! The vibe was chill, the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the food was tasty. We will be back!“

“Cute atmosphere but the real star is their selection. There are not many places that focus on champagne and sparkling wines but they really know their stuff and mix it up. I love the Sodo area in general but this place has worked it's way in the favorites rotation.“

“If you are in the mood for elegant, vintage drinks with a whimsical (truly whimsical) twist - look no further - thus is your stop, for a sip - or two, or... We had the Chai Old Fashioned and the Last Word... If the devil is in the details - so are the companions of Bacchus - the REAL maraschino cherry in the Last Word and the massive ice cube in the Old Fashioned confirm how serious thus place is about its drinks reputation. Also, the Cherry and Apricot Salad gave us that so very needed connection with the local farmers' produce, it being a delightfully crispy concoction of bitter radicchio and peppery greens, smoothed by a pungent goat cheese and vanilla balsamic vinaigrette.The bread and the sharp olive oil were especially appreciated with the salad. We love gelato, but ordered the blackberry sorbet and did not regret it since it came with a solid chunk of anise biscotti - an excellent pairing for the double espresso. Our waiter, Troy, made us feel well attended, but not even once did he overdo it.“

“An absolute gem in Seattle. Ben treated us like family. Extensive wine list of amazing area wines and a fantastic menu of snacks to accompany the wines. Great value and a relaxed atmosphere. A must do!!!!“

“I have followed Off Alley for about four years and finally made it. They did not disappoint. The intimate setting and excellent service is my kind of experience. The menu was creatively composed and made me curious. As dishes came out, they were beautifully plated and made me order more just to have a chance to experience more of the food. I didn't need salt or pepper. It was beautifully seasoned. My favorite by far was the rabbit kidneys on toast. Wow!! Mind blowing Michelin worthy dish in my mind. The kidneys had a lovely sear on them, cooked beautifully and topped with a rich sauce. The bread underneath was soft with a lovely crust and absorbed the sauce so well. I enjoyed my meal in totality. I'm placing pictures but won't tell you everything I ordered. Go early or make a reservation (your best bet) and order a variety of dishes and see if you happen to order anything like I got to experience. I am an absolute foodie and enjoy Michelin restaurants and unique cuisine experiences and for what I got at Off Alley, it was up there! When I got my check, I expected to pay more because it was such a niché experience with high quality products. It really should cost more. I'll certainly head back...soon!“

“Great expresso martini! Try 2!“

“Started off poorly as left to wait for 15 min despite booking, shown to table and it wasn't really set correctly... teaspoon for butter knife... that sort of thing. Food was good but overall experience bad due to start of meal and waiters leaning over me a lot“

“The best macaroons I have ever tasted #bestofseattle“

“I came here with a group of friends on a Saturday evening and we enjoyed a variety of drinks and food (including all of the pizzas). We sat at 8 and stayed basically until close, so it was very chill and relaxed. The food and drinks were all delicious!“

“I was in town for a special event, I haven't been here before and was amazed with every aspect of my experience. our server Charles was utterly fabulous. he was very knowledgeable, thoughtful and prompt. he made it feel like we were old friends. the steaks were perfectly cooked. I am 4 and 1/2 years sober, and to go out and enjoy an exquisite meal and only drink water can be a drag, but you all had an amazing selection of mocktails, my partners and I enjoyed immensely. I took the time to thank Charles for everything and got to meet Justin, letting him know how wonderful everything was. this will definitely be a regular stop anytime I visit.“

“Nice people’s and great place for have fun 😎“

“Tried this very special “takeout only omakase sushi box”, Edomae style ( use cured/aged fish, and red vinegar seasoning in rice). The executive chef, chef Ryo, has worked in many renowned restaurant including Michelin star sushi restaurant “Sushi Sho”. Before joining this new restaurant “Ltd Edition Sushi” in capitol hill, he worked side by side with chef Nakazawa-an icon of edomae style in Japan, at both Sushi Sho Tokyo and Sushi Sho Honolulu. The sushi omakase box and kids fish bowl are both very sophisticated, the curing and aging techniques brings out the deep complex flavor of each fish and gives each fish this extra tender texture, the taste profile as such is hard to find here in Seattle. Chef sake flight ( we tried Haneya Junmai Ginjo and Hidakami Junmai today), one is floral and one on the dry side, pair with his sushi very well. Sushi is in a very elegant wooden box and everything you will need for the experience including a separate soy sauce dipping dish is prepared for the guest. This is, truly, a perfect omakase takeout experience. 💕💕😋“
